GUS emulation works fine on DosBox, but how is it possible to get a higher memory value for it?
If I try to set GUS as soundcard for Death Rally, I get this message:

"Warning: Death Rally needs 1024kb GUS memory in order to work correctly. Press any key to continue."

If I try to set GUS anyway and launch the game, DosBox gets stuck on "Loading music & effects, please wait..."

Does anyone have a clue about this? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, DOSBox always emulates a GUS with 1024kb. So the problem may be in how the game is trying to detect and use the memory. That is probably a bug in the DOSBox implementation of the GUS.

Nevermind, I've fixed it. I didn't notice these two lines on my DosBox startup log:

"210" is not a valid value for variable: gusbase.
It might now be reset to the default value: 240

I've put 240 and everything works like a charm now. I guess that was just a warning by Death Rally, but it wasn't necessarily referring to a memory GUS issue.

Thanks anyway!
